exactly what i was looking for
“I've been saying that I need an only messaging version of Instagram because so many people's only way to reach them is through Instagram and I wanted to keep in touch but reels were just way too addicting! So I'm glad someone finally made this app!”
— most of gen zbest app ever
“i've been looking for an app to help me get off instagram and this is the only one that works. the message feature is so great and i love that you have to watch ads if you want to use instagram because it really deters me from doing so. BEST DECISION EVER”
— wouldratherbewithmyhamstersThe best distraction free app out there
“this app helped me build discipline and honestly it's everything I ever wished for. The messaging features without the reels addiction is exactly what I needed.”
— DulsayyGreat concept, must have
“I've been looking for something like this since my doomscrolling became an issue. I love the features & app quality. I would definitely recommend it to someone with a scrolling habit.”
— Wilton Stinsonlove the features and concept
“i love that i dont have to open IG to see what my friends sent me, i can just download the video or photo in the post that was sent and view in-app! i love the features and the concept.”
— wlovem1naLove The App
“Really appreciate what the team is building here. The concept of blocking the feed while keeping DMs accessible is exactly what social media should have been from the start.”
